allow=alaw
transfer=no
callerid=<CALLSIGN>  ; Change to your callsign

extensions.conf

Edit your /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf file adding the following:

[iax-phone]
exten => <NODE#>,1,Answer() ; Change NODE# to either match your node number of a number to connect to your node
exten => <NODE#>,n,Set(CALLERID(name)="'''YOUR CALLSIGN'''")
exten => <NODE#>,n,Playback(rpt/connected)

Configuration

You can find instructions for configuring Zoiper for use with a SIP/IAX2 account are located at Zoiper Setup.

Calling

• Start Zoiper
• Ensure Zopier is registering with your node using the account information you setup previously.
  • In Zoiper: you will see a green check mark next to the account under Settings->Accounts
  • In Asterisk: you can check your node to see if Zoiper has successfully registered with:

 KG7QIN*CLI> iax2 show peers
 Name/Username    Host                 Mask             Port          Status    
 kg7qin/kg7qin    192.168.0.20     (D) 255.255.255.255  4569          Unmonitored

Your account will show the IP address under Host for a successful registration or (Unspecified) if it hasn't

• Dial your NODE # (or the access number) you setup in extensions.conf and you will be greeted with "Connected node <NODE NUMBER>" and your node can then dial out to the AllStarLink/PTTLink network using * commands.
